A Shrinking Projection Method for Generalized Mixed Equilibrium Problems, Variational Inclusion Problems and a Finite Family of Quasi-Nonexpansive Mappings

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to consider a shrinking projection method for finding a common element of the set of solutions of generalized mixed equilibrium problems, the set of fixed points of a finite family of quasi-nonexpansive mappings, and the set of solutions of variational inclusion problems. Then, we prove a strong convergence theorem of the iterative sequence generated by the shrinking projection method under some suitable conditions in a real Hilbert space. Our results improve and extend recent results announced by Peng et al. (2008), Takahashi et al. (2008), S.Takahashi and W. Takahashi (2008), and many others.

The generalized mixed equilibrium problem include fixed point problems, optimization problems, variational inequalities problems, Nash equilibrium problems, noncooperative games, economics and the equilibrium problems as special cases (see, e.g., [3–8]). Some methods have been proposed to solve the generalized mixed equilibrium problems, generalized equilibrium problems and equilibrium problems; see, for instance, [9–22].

In 2007, Takahashi et al. [23] proved the following strong convergence theorem for a nonexpansive mapping by using the shrinking projection method in mathematical programming. For a and , they defined a sequence as follows

In 2010, Katchang and Kumam [27] introduced an iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of solutions for mixed equilibrium problems, the set of solutions of the variational inclusions with set-valued maximal monotone mappings, and inverse strongly monotone mappings and the set of fixed points of a finite family of nonexpansive mappings in a real Hilbert space.

In this paper, motivated and inspired by the previously mentioned results, we introduce an iterative scheme by the shrinking projection method for finding a common element of the set of solutions of generalized mixed equilibrium problems, the set of fixed points of a finite family of quasi-nonexpansive mappings and the set of solutions of variational inclusion problems in a real Hilbert space. Then, we prove a strong convergence theorem of the iterative sequence generated by the proposed shrinking projection method under some suitable conditions. The results obtained in this paper extend and improve several recent results in this area.

3. Main Results

In this section, we will introduce an iterative scheme by using shrinking projection method for finding a common element of the set of solutions of generalized mixed equilibrium problems, the set of fixed points of a finite family of quasi-nonexpansive mappings and the set of solutions of variational inclusion problems in a real Hilbert space.

Let be a finite family of nonexpansive mappings of into itself, and let be real numbers such that for every . We define a mapping as follows:

(3.1)

Such a mapping is called the K-mapping generated by and ; see [32].

We have the following crucial Lemma 3.1 and Lemma 3.2 concerning -mapping which can be found in [14]. Now we only need the following similar version in Hilbert spaces.

Lemma 3.1.

Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space . Let be a finite family of quasi-nonexpansive mappings and -Lipschitz mappings of into itself with and let be real numbers such that for every , and . Let be the K-mapping generated by and . Then, the followings hold:

(1) is quasi-nonexpansive and Lipschitz,

(2).

Lemma 3.2.

Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space . Let be a finite family of quasi-nonexpansive mappings and -Lipschitz mappings of into itself and sequences in such that Moreover, for every , let and be the K-mappings generated by and , and and , respectively. Then, for every , we have

Now we study the strong convergence theorem concerning the shrinking projection method.

Theorem 3.3.

Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space , let be a bifunction from to satisfying (A1)–(A4), and let be a proper lower semicontinuous and convex function with assumption (B1) or (B2). Let be a finite family of quasi-nonexpansive and -Lipschitz mappings of into itself, and let be a -inverse-strongly monotone mapping of into , let a -inverse-strongly monotone mapping of into and be a maximal monotone mapping. Assume that

(3.2)

Let be the -mapping generated by and . Let , , , and be sequences generated by , , and let

(3.3)

where satisfy the following conditions:

(i) for some with ;

(ii), for some with ;

(iii) for some with .

Then, and converge strongly to

Proof.

In the light of the definition of the resolvent, can be rewritten as . Let and using the fact be a sequence of mappings defined as in Lemma 2.6, is an -inverse-strongly monotone and that , where for some with , we can write

(3.4)

Next, we will divide the proof into six steps.

Step 1.

We first show that is well defined and is closed and convex for any .

From the assumption, we see that is closed and convex. Suppose that is closed and convex for some . Next, we show that is closed and convex for some . For any , we obtain that

(3.5)

is equivalent to

(3.6)

Thus is closed and convex. Then, is closed and convex for any . This implies that is well defined.

Step 2.

Next, we show by induction that for each .

Taking and by condition (ii), we get that is nonexpansive for all . From the assumption, we see that . Suppose for some . For any , we have

(3.7)

Thus, we have

(3.8)

It follows that This implies that for each .

Step 3.

Next, we show that and .

From , we have

(3.9)

for each . Using we also have

(3.10)

So, for , we have

(3.11)

This implies that

(3.12)

From and , we obtain

(3.13)

From (3.13), we have, for

(3.14)

It follows that

(3.15)

Thus the sequence is a bounded and nonincreasing sequence, so exists, that is,

(3.16)

Indeed, from (3.13), we get

(3.17)

From (3.16), we obtain

(3.18)

Since we have

(3.19)

By (3.18), we obtain

(3.20)

Step 4.

Next, we show that

For any given , . It is easy to see that . As is nonexpansive, we have

(3.21)

Similarly, we can prove that

(3.22)

Observe that

(3.23)

Substituting (3.21) into (3.23), and using conditions (i) and (ii), we have

(3.24)

It follows that

(3.25)

Since , we obtain

(3.26)

Since the resolvent operator is 1-inverse strongly monotone, we obtain

(3.27)

which yields that

(3.28)

Similarly, we obtain

(3.29)

Substituting (3.28) into (3.23), and using condition (i), we have

(3.30)

It follows that

(3.31)

Applying and as to the last inequality, we get

(3.32)

Note that

(3.33)

Substituting (3.22) into (3.33), and using conditions (i) and (ii), we have

(3.34)

It follows that

(3.35)

Since , we obtain

(3.36)

Substituting (3.29) into (3.33), and using conditions (i) and (ii), we have

(3.37)

It follows that

(3.38)

Applying and as to the last inequality, we get

(3.39)

From (3.32) and (3.39), we have

(3.40)

From (3.33), (3.4), and condition (iii), we have

(3.41)

It follows that

(3.42)

Since , we obtain

(3.43)

On the other hand, in the light of Lemma 2.6(3), is firmly nonexpansvie, so we have

(3.44)

which implies that

(3.45)

Using (3.41) again and (3.45), we have

(3.46)

It follows from the condition (i) that

(3.47)

Since and , it is implied that

(3.48)

From (3.39) and (3.48), we have

(3.49)

By (3.3), we get

(3.50)

Since for some with , and as , we also have

(3.51)

From (3.40) and (3.48), we have

(3.52)

Furthermore, by the triangular inequality, we also have

(3.53)

Applying (3.51) and (3.52), we obtain

(3.54)

Let be the mapping defined by (3.1). Since is bounded, applying Lemma 3.2 and (3.54), we have

(3.55)

Step 5.

Next, we show that

Since is bounded, there exists a subsequence of which converges weakly to . Without loss of generality, we can assume that . Since and is closed and convex, is weakly closed and hence . From we obtain

  1. (a)

    First, we prove that .

We observe that is a -Lipschitz monotone mapping and . From Lemma 2.2, we know that is maximal monotone. Let , that is, . Since , we have

(3.56)

that is,

(3.57)

By virtue of the maximal monotonicity of , we have

(3.58)

and so

(3.59)

It follows from , and that

(3.60)

It follows from the maximal monotonicity of that , that is, .

  1. (b)

    Next, we show that . Since dom , we have

    (3.61)

From (A2), we also have

(3.62)

And hence

(3.63)

For with and let Since and we have So, from (3.63), we have

(3.64)

Since we have . Further, from the inverse strongly monotonicity of we have So, from (A5), the weakly lower semicontinuity of and , we have

(3.65)

as From (A1), (A4) and (3.65), we also get

(3.66)

Letting we have, for each

(3.67)

This implies that

  1. (c)

    Now, we prove that .

Assume Since and we know that and it follows by the Opial's condition (Lemma 2.4) that

(3.68)

which is a contradiction. Thus, we get .

The conclusion is .

Step 6.

Finally, we show that and , where

Since is nonempty closed convex subset of , there exists a unique such that Since and , we have

(3.69)

for all . From (3.69), is bounded, so . By the weak lower semicontinuity of the norm, we have

(3.70)

However, Since , we have

(3.71)

Using (3.69) and (3.70), we obtain . Thus and So, we have

(3.72)

Thus, we obtain that

(3.73)

From , we obtain . Using the Kadec-Klee property (Lemma 2.5) of , we obtain that

(3.74)

and hence in norm. Finally, noticing we also conclude that in norm. This completes the proof.

Corollary 3.4.

Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space , let be a bifunction from to satisfying (A1)–(A4), and let be a proper lower semicontinuous and convex function with assumption (B1) or (B2). Let be a finite family of nonexpansive mappings of into itself, let be a -inverse-strongly monotone mapping of into , let be a -inverse-strongly monotone mapping of into and a maximal monotone mapping. Assume that

(3.75)

Let be the -mapping generated by and . Let , , , and be sequences generated by (3.3) satisfying the following conditions in Theorem 3.3. Then, and converge strongly to

From Theorem 3.3, we can obtain the following results.

Theorem 3.5.

Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space , let be a bifunction from to satisfying (A1)–(A4), and let be a proper lower semicontinuous and convex function with assumption (B1) or (B2). Let be a finite family of quasi-nonexpansive and -Lipschitz mappings of into itself, let be a -inverse-strongly monotone mapping of into and let be a -inverse-strongly monotone mapping of into . Assume that

(3.76)

Let be the -mapping generated by and . Let , , , and be sequences generated by , , and let

(3.77)

where satisfy the following conditions:

(i) for some with ;

(ii), for some with ;

(iii) for some with .

Then, and converge strongly to

Proof.

In Theorem 3.3 take , where is the indicator function of , that is,

(3.78)

Then the variational inclusion problem (1.3) is equivalent to variational inequality problem (1.14), that is, to find such that

(3.79)

Again, since , then

(3.80)

and so we have

(3.81)

We can obtain the desired conclusion from Theorem 3.3 immediately.

Next, we consider another class of important nonlinear mappings: strict pseudocontractions.

Definition 3.6.

A mapping is called strictly pseudocontraction if there exists a constant such that

(3.82)

If , then is nonexpansive.

In this case, let a -strictly pseudocontraction. Putting , then is a -inverse-strongly monotone mapping. In fact, from (3.82) we have

(3.83)

Observe that

(3.84)

Hence, we obtain

(3.85)

This shows that is -inverse-strongly monotone mapping.

Now, we get the following result.

Theorem 3.7.

Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space , let be a bifunction from to satisfying (A1)–(A4) and let be a proper lower semicontinuous and convex function with assumption (B1) or (B2). Let be a finite family of quasi-nonexpansive and -Lipschitz mappings of into itself, let be a -strictly pseudocontraction mapping of into and let be a -strictly pseudocontraction mapping of into . Assume that

(3.86)

Let be the -mapping generated by and . Let , , , and be sequences generated by , , and let

(3.87)

where satisfy the following conditions:

(i) for some with ;

(ii), for some with ;

(iii) for some with .

Then, and converge strongly to

Proof.

Taking and , respectively. Then we see that is -inverse-strongly monotone and is -inverse-strongly monotone, respectively. We have and

(3.88)

By using Theorem 3.5, it is easy to obtain the desired conclusion.
